Laser Surgery

Lasers have been successfully used in human medicine for over 30 years. Now your pet can benefit from this cutting edge technology. Laser surgery is an exciting new option for safer, more comfortable care. In many procedures, the laser can replace the scalpel and provide a better alternative to traditional surgery. Laser surgery offers the benefit of less bleeding during surgical procedures, and less pain and swelling post-operatively. As a result, pets recover more comfortably, and return to normal activity more quickly.

Pediatrics

There is no more special time in the life of your pet than those first few weeks. In addition to proper immunizations and medical care, we help you reach the important milestones of housetraining, managing common behavior issues, and raising a healthy pet.

Nutrition Counseling

Almost half of the pets in this country are overweight or obese. These pets have an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, bone and joint injury, diabetes, and a host of other medical problems that can dramatically decrease your pet’s overall life span and limit his or her quality of life. We offer comprehensive nutrition evaluation and counseling to help you optimize your pet’s weight, and to help your pet live a happier and healthier life.

Please note that we do have an answering machine for your convenience, and will return messages the following morning (or on Mondays for messages left over the weekend).
